They could be fairly close - I haven't yet
pinpointed them in their States,
but the states are adjacent.
Might seem so, but apparently not:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeburg,_Missouri east central Missouri
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belvidere,_Illinois extreme north central
Illinois, nearly Wisconsin, not far from where I lived, in Walworth, WI,
during pre-school summers.
I'm guessing there's at least a 5 hour drive between them, but not too far
that the whole area couldn't be contiguous for a single fiber optic backbone.
